Come and wait with me in my tww :D GUESS WHO'S BACK YEP CRAZY WOMAN HERE

[tdog]

Thank you so much for encouraging!! Yes, im still breastfeeding. Dh and i talked about it and I will try to lessen the frequency of her nursing. Not just in hopes of conceiving, but dd tanks my blood sugar!! I have such a hard time keeping up with her demands and she’s now 17 months so she shouldnt be as frequent as she has been lately. Today, for instance, she nursed 5 times before 11am. And I dont mean a quick ‘hi mom’ check-in and then she’s off again. Full-on ripping the milk from me with tornado-like suction! Teething her last teeth but even so that’s too much for my sanity, health, and ability to get everything else done!

You need to do what's right for you mentally and your little girl, I mean I'm not telling you to suck eggs or anything as I'm pretty sure you already no that, I'm just trying to be a good online friend by supporting you xx

@HalfricanMa i am so sorry, also if it’s relevant my luteal phase was shorter while breastfeeding too and vitamin c did help that. My youngest is 2 next month and I am considering weaning him too. I’m just so sorry about AF

 

[HalfricanMa]

Thanks @tdog and @MrsKatie.

 

[autumnal]

Im so sorry you got af @HalfricanMa don't give up. I was never able to conceive while breastfeeding personally but so many people do!

Hi ladies, I’m in the TWW with an O-2 BD. I felt ovulation at 11 PM on the 15th (LH+ the day before) and then the next day at 1 PM I was sitting and eating lunch with my husband and I just had this super brief, fleeting moment, where I felt like a spark and a rush almost, and I looked at my husband and said “I think I’m pregnant”. Maybe I’m crazy, it sounds totally crazy to me, but I’m half convinced that that was conception.

 

[tdog]

@shaescott that sounds promising have everything crossed that you get you when's af due? Xx

 

[elmum]

@tdog your tests are so amazing. Don’t feel bad, please. I love seeing positive, hopeful stories on here.
14 dpo and looks like AF is on her way
I’m sick at my stomach and cramping
I guess we will keep trying for now. As long as I’m still having my cycle, I guess there is a chance
@HalfricanMa I’m so sorry about this cycle. Maybe next one will be THE ONE. Thinking of you

 

[shaescott]

@shaescott that sounds promising have everything crossed that you get you when's af due? Xx

4/28-29. Gonna try to wait until 10dpo to test (it’ll be more like 9.25dpo because I ovulated at 11 PM lol), so I’ll start testing on 4/25. I started taking vitamin C yesterday because I sometimes have lower progesterone levels based on my Inito testing, and apparently taking 750mg a day made a statistically significant increase in progesterone levels in a study, and increased pregnancy rates. Worth a shot

 

[shaescott]

I have a couple of tests that I know pick up 7miu because it was faintly positive and beta was 7 (not mine), I’d guess they probably pick up 5miu+. But I don’t want to waste them, I have 4, and, ahem, I can’t purchase them in stores (incidentally I work in an emergency room), so I’ll wait for 4/25 to start testing with them. I have plenty of wondfos to waste if I can’t hold out.

 

[tdog]

@shaescott can't wait to see them tests great that you have got them yea definitely wouldn't waste them tho, I still have loads of the yellow handle ones I got so I'll prob just have to waste them so to speak as I don't think they go any darker than what I had xx

 

[Momof2onetube]

@HalfricanMa I will second @MrsKatie on vitamin C, it’s good for you regardless but it definitely helped when I was ttc while still nursing my then 3.5 year old (she hated the milk change and self weaned before the end of 1st tri). My LP was also slightly affected by nursing and I cycle track for sanity purposes still and I see the slightly shorter LP again and I’m still nursing my almost 20 month old. Very interesting stuff! Good luck

4dpo (more accurately 3.25dpo) progesterone is 7.2 on Inito, so it looks like we’re on the right track for adequate progesterone. Fingers crossed! My temp just isn’t as high as it normally is, but it did start quite low, and I did see a solid rise, so hopefully it’s just in progress.

Chart looking good everything so tightly crossed for you xx

Temp still isn’t where I want it, but it’s still on the uptrend, so at least there’s that. PdG was 8 this morning, so that’s also still on the uptrend. If I got an inadequate corpus luteum even with my ovulation pain (I very rarely get any and this time I woke up from my nap to R pelvic aching, stretching, intermittent sharp pain 24 hours after my +OPK), I’m gonna be so annoyed. Usually ovulation pain means a more robust follicle, especially if you don’t usually get it. That corpus luteum better get it together

 

[tdog]

@shaescott my o pains was about 24hours after the +opk this cycle i didn't think we had done it either obviously did all sounds so promising I'm hoping and praying for you xx

How are you other ladies doing? Xx

 

[MrsKatie]

@shaescott oooh fx fx fx!!

 

[shaescott]

Nothing interesting on the chart today.

Still booing at the temp being below 97.5. At least my progesterone seems semi-decent. I decided I’m gonna get a 7dpo progesterone draw since serum is more accurate than urine, cuz it’s a metabolite of progesterone so apparently it’s better for general ovulation confirmation than it is for tracking exact levels. If it’s low and I end up not pregnant, I’ll have more information at least.

Symptoms: woke up with acid reflux. Went away once I got up. Also very gassy this morning when I took my meds I had to eat a slice of cheese about a minute later cuz my stomach was not thrilled with me. The cheese fixed it though lol.

 

[tdog]

@shaescott fingers crossed progesterone is fine and nice and high sound like good signs tho hunni, normally my tell tale im pregnant is acid reflux threw me off a few cycles tho lol xx

We’ll see. I have plans to distract myself for the next two days, but today I’m at work so every free moment is spent obsessing lol. I work Thursday Friday as well. I’ll be 9-10dpo on Friday, so I’ll take my first test before work that morning.

Just wondering how long it takes hcg to leave your body after giving birth? My body has been acting weird for some time and I almost feel like it's gearing up to go fertile again and it's probably from the lack of breastfeeding at the beginning and no baby for 3 weeks. I've never had it happen that soon after baby so wondering how long it takes for the hormones to dampen down
